I have tested paraview 5.9.0, but it fails.
1.I create a animation
2.load openvr plugin && click "send to VR "
3.In VR , I click " start " animation button
4.the animation does not work
It does support it, but please try with ParaView 5.10
FYI @martink
I have downloaded ParaView-5.10.0-Windows-Python3.9-msvc2017-AMD64.exe ， but this version also does not work. Animation have limitations ？ or Would you share some guidelines? thanks anyway.
No
Would you share some guidelines?
- Do not start the animation before sending it to VR.
- Use animation cache
where‘s’ animation cache？
Well you found it
use example “can.ex2” , Animation can work.
but the following step fails:
I open source->cone && use animation view to create animation.
then click “send to VR”
In VR , I click start && it does not work.
@mahb : Just save your animation to a timeseries before opening it again.
@martink @utkarsh.ayachit : Looks like VR + AnimationManager created animation may not work.
The way PV caches animation isn’t really suitable for VR. Sometimes it works, but without changes to PV it just isn’t a good path.

Thank for your advice.
What type can I save my animation to timeseries for playbacking? now saving animation can support the following types:
Use “save data”, not “save animation”
pvd comes to mind
Would you describe this method by steps?
I’ve tried pvd and other types, it seem to fail to be a animation.
Thanks a lot
You are animating the camera it looks like, then this require to use the SaveAnimatedScene feature, available only in ParaView 5.10.0
Now I am using paraview 5.10.0. How can I use this feature?
File → SaveAnimatedScene
Only .vtkjs format is supported
Thank you, I find File → Export Animated scene. but save faild.the following is the output message.

Looks like a permission error at first glance, do you save your animation in a location you have access to (ie something like your personal Documents folder) ? In any case there is some known issue with the Export animated scene feature on windows, you could try on Linux if you have one.
Also what dou you mean by
? Do you want to open your animation as a video ? Or as data in ParaView ? On the web ? vtkjs may not be the data format you’re looking for.
